I'm assuming your getting chitty ll

 

Almost deleted my driver's side hub of it wasn't for the centre caps. Was completely detached and just hanging. Should have double checked my snap rings, they are definitely in there correctly now!

 

I'm about to do the exhaust manifold delete, but I am going to do it a little differently.




Today is the day I "Delete" those studs! Wish me luck. Tom, you might as well just PM me your cell phone number :-P

 

DU, keep small children away (cursing) and cold beer close by (lubricant ) and all should go well!
Do you have any pre-broken studs?
And you have a PM.

 

The niece will be watching Saturday... day cartoons, so all should be well there

Cold beer will be present. Though I am a Drunken Unicorn, I will try my hardest to wait till... noon... maybe... to start drinking

I do not currently have any broken studs. They don't look very corroded either. Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I didn't actually expect you to shoot me a pm so quickly! lol

I will make sure to follow up with some sound clips too so everyone can hear the difference

 

Idk about you, but I'm still drunk from last night. Lol


I've got my Ex up on Jackstands, checking out a rear wheel bearing, and changing oil in the rear end.

 

Picked 07 front end this morning for $150 including a fog lights and rear bumper as well. I think I got a pretty good deal. I have a guy who is going to repaint the bumper pad from Red to black for $65 which I think is very fair.

You think?

That's a steal!

 

thats a steal!!! you can hardly find 05 front ends around here, and when they do, 20 people comment on the post in 5 minutes and they want $500+

 

hey i commented on your post on diesels of new england asking about plowing pollen lol

 

Did you hold a gun to the guys head when you handed him the money?!?

 

 

[QUOTE=A Rodder;15359244]Exactly what I was going to post when I was reading it...

 

Andy, Don't know if you noticed but it looks like there's a dead body sitting inside hope you got a discount

 

Wrenched most of the day, but took a break due to the rain.

Tore into the drivers side front wheel. Since we bought the X we can't drive w/ the hubs unlocked because when we get to around 45mph and hit a bump there is a terrible vibration. So I thought this was classic needle bearing failure in the hub so I ordered new bearings and a slew of other parts to go along with it.

Took it apart and the bearings looked great! They were greased up and felt pretty smooth. No marks at all on the yokes. They were perfectly smooth. The u-joint looks and feels solid. Same with the ball joints. They had already been replaced with MOOG problem solvers.

So swapped out the bearing and reassembled it. We'll see.

Also swapped the driver side shock, the drag link, and the steering dampener. Going to tear into the drivers side and just do the shock at this point.

Any ideas on that vibration? I'll check to see if it is still there w/ the new bearings, but I suspect it will be.
